Psalm 91-93

Psalm 91

1 Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most Highwill rest in the shadow of the Almighty.2 I will say of the Lord, "He is my refuge and my fortress,my God, in whom I trust."

3 Surely he will save youfrom the fowler's snareand from the deadly pestilence.4 He will cover you with his feathers,and under his wings you will find refuge;his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.5 You will not fear the terror of night,nor the arrow that flies by day,6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,nor the plague that destroys at midday.7 A thousand may fall at your side,ten thousand at your right hand,but it will not come near you.8 You will only observe with your eyesand see the punishment of the wicked.

9 If you say, "The Lord is my refuge,"and you make the Most High your dwelling,10 no harm will overtake you,no disaster will come near your tent.11 For he will command his angels concerning youto guard you in all your ways;12 they will lift you up in their hands,so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.13 You will tread on the lion and the cobra;you will trample the great lion and the serpent.

14 "Because he loves me," says the Lord, "I will rescue him;I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.15 He will call on me, and I will answer him;I will be with him in trouble,I will deliver him and honor him.16 With long life I will satisfy himand show him my salvation."

Psalm 92

A psalm. A song. For the Sabbath day.

1 It is good to praise the Lordand make music to your name, O Most High,2 proclaiming your love in the morningand your faithfulness at night,3 to the music of the ten-stringed lyreand the melody of the harp.

4 For you make me glad by your deeds, Lord;I sing for joy at what your hands have done.5 How great are your works, Lord,how profound your thoughts!6 Senseless people do not know,fools do not understand,7 that though the wicked spring up like grassand all evildoers flourish,they will be destroyed forever.

8 But you, Lord, are forever exalted.

9 For surely your enemies, Lord,surely your enemies will perish;all evildoers will be scattered.10 You have exalted my horn like that of a wild ox;fine oils have been poured on me.11 My eyes have seen the defeat of my adversaries;my ears have heard the rout of my wicked foes.

12 The righteous will flourish like a palm tree,they will grow like a cedar of Lebanon;13 planted in the house of the Lord,they will flourish in the courts of our God.14 They will still bear fruit in old age,they will stay fresh and green,15 proclaiming, "The Lord is upright;he is my Rock, and there is no wickedness in him."

Psalm 93

1 The Lord reigns, he is robed in majesty;the Lord is robed in majesty and armed with strength;indeed, the world is established, firm and secure.2 Your throne was established long ago;you are from all eternity.

3 The seas have lifted up, Lord,the seas have lifted up their voice;the seas have lifted up their pounding waves.4 Mightier than the thunder of the great waters,mightier than the breakers of the sea—the Lord on high is mighty.

Romans 15:1-13

15 We who are strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak and not to please ourselves.2 Each of us should please our neighbors for their good, to build them up.3 For even Christ did not please himself but, as it is written: "The insults of those who insult you have fallen on me."4 For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through the endurance taught in the Scriptures and the encouragement they provide we might have hope.

5 May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had,6 so that with one mind and one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.7 Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God.8 For I tell you that Christ has become a servant of the Jews on behalf of God's truth, so that the promises made to the patriarchs might be confirmed9 and, moreover, that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy. As it is written:

"Therefore I will praise you among the Gentiles;I will sing the praises of your name."

10 Again, it says,

"Rejoice, you Gentiles, with his people."

11 And again,

"Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles;let all the peoples extol him."

12 And again, Isaiah says,

"The Root of Jesse will spring up,one who will arise to rule over the nations;in him the Gentiles will hope."

13 May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
